Bags are packed

My bags are packed, and we're good to go - off to New York, Boston and Washington DC for a week! It'll be a marathon of shows, shows, shows. Unfortunately there will be no internet access but I'll be keeping a record and taking plenty of photos - and if I can post a bit here and there I will. I'm excited to be seeing Connie, my resident New Yorker friend, while we're out there!
